To wonder where billionaires find joy...?

I find joy in so many little things - a clean kitchen, a takeaway every fortnight, a new candle, drinks with my friends... but when these things become the norm surely the spark of joy that comes with them also goes.

I wonder how billionaires, who have a spotless- well managed home(s), private chefs, Jo malone candles galore... find their little bits of joy when their every day life is most people's fantasy.

Anyway, IABU for being up this early on a Monday when I don't have work today. A billionaire would never...

Having a chef on hand would be my idea of joy. Also, housekeeping. I hate cleaning. It's never going to happen, though.

I think a billionaire wouldn't be down-marketing with a Jo Malone candle!
Why can't they enjoy simple pleasures? Their kid's achievements, for example? Some may even clean their own kitchens!

Probably things like having their Ferraris waxed and drinking expensive booze on their yachts 😂

I would find joy in being financially comfortable. If I didn’t have to worry about being sick longer than 4 weeks, as that’s when I’d go on half pay before SSP.
